Attempted headshot? Really? If you know you're not skilled enough for it, go for the gut.
This pretty much guarantees he's going to win now. Dems would have to run a (performative) progressive with a pulse at this point and they would never.
sounds like a small caliber pistol too. i haven't been able to figure out how far he was from trump, but it was further than anyone who isn't decently trained could easily make under pressure.
edit: pics and some reporting was that he was on a raised container of some sort, about 100meters away, and other videos have the sound much clearer. definitely an AR or something
The angle of the grazes on his face made me think it came from below, not super close because they're not crazy steep, but not far enough away to make them horizontal, because they go from mouth to top of ear. Idk how someone could shoot that many times from the front-of-stage area without getting tackled, though.
Edit: totally wrong – they were on a roof nearby
I think trumps injuries were from his teleprompter shattering
Not so much about skill but shooting out of a small gun in a crowd, you obviously should go center mass. Although since it was certainly a very low caliber gun it was unlikely to work immediately either way.
